“On the Radio, On the Radio…”

Hudson Valley, New York. February 27, 2010

Ever heard that Regina Specktor song? It’s one of my favorites. This morning I was “on the radio, on the radio…” and I didn’t stutter too much. High five for me.

NW Wild Country Interview

In case you slept in this morning and missed it, here’s the radio interview with Joel Shangle’s “Northwest Wild Country,” on Sportsradio, 950 KJR in Seattle!

They played my theme song and everything…

Happy Saturday! There’s so much snow here that I’m going to have to ski over to the chicken coop now to collect the eggs.

“Writing High”

33,000 Feet in the Sky. February 26, 2010
Writing High

A few things. 1. I’d been sitting in an airport waiting for the snow to clear so I can take an impromptu birthday trip to New York. What better way to pass the time than with you? First we were supposed to take off at 9am, then 11am, then 12pm, then the captain made an …

“Today, I Shall Blush Pink”

Berkeley, California. February 25, 2010
Today I Shall Blush Pink

I recently got the news that I shouldn’t drink much alcohol. You see, it makes me rather red faced. See? This was me and my boyfriend Francoise in Arles, France after the September “Feria du Riz.” Okay, his name wasn’t Francoise. Okay, he wasn’t my boyfriend. He was just a jolly French man who wanted …

Berkeley, California. February 23, 2010

I rendered some duck fat and wanted to tell you all about the glorious experience. I plan on using it in all of my recipes, from pie crusts to steaks to milkshakes. Just kidding. Sort of. I made the rendered duck fat and have step-by-step instructions over at my “second home“… I just had too …

“Things I’m Thinking of Giving the IRS Instead of Money”

Berkeley, California. February 22, 2010
DSC02047

Two wild stallions. Or domesticated. Whichever I can find first. A transexual rooster. With army tags. And one good eye. A hearty piece of honeycomb straight from our beehives which will last forever. It truly will, honey is the only food that never goes bad. Now can you really say that about money? Honey is …

“Guess Who This Is?”

Hudson Valley, New York. February 19, 2010
Guess Who This Is

I’ll give you three clues… 1. She still lives in the same house. 2. She was five years old here. 3. I want a bike like that. Okay, that’s not a clue but I just wanted to make that public in case someone has one they’re looking to get rid of. I never said I …

“The Dinner Files: My Skillet & Me”

Berkeley, California. February 18, 2010
The Dinner Files

This is what I ate for dinner last night. I ate both of those with my bare hands straight out of the skillet. Then someone walked in on me with a drumstick in each hand and adobe pepper sauce all over my face. And they shook their head in disappointment and kept walking. Just kidding. …

“Wood Piles, Worms and Chicken Debates”

Hudson Valley, New York. February 17, 2010
Woodpiles, Worms and Chicken Debates

I like a good wood pile. It reminds me of what is to come… namely the smell of burning wood in cold air for months on end. I don’t know of a better smell. Wood burning in cold air is my favorite. Second only to wood burning in warm air. Getting the wood to appear …

“Deer Hunting VIII: Whiskey in a Deer Stand”

Lake Village, Arkansas. February 15, 2010
You

I thought it would be appropriate to conclude my Delta Deer Hunt series with one of the more amusing bits from the weekend. When you get a few good guitar players in the room, and pair them with a few people who can wax philosophically on just about any topic, good things start to happen–good …

“Root Soup & Polenta”

Hudson Valley, New York. February 12, 2010
DSC_1268 copy

Because she loves you, Grandma Pellegrini made you a Valentines soup. She even put hearts in it. It’s a work of art. And because he loves you, Gordon snapped some photos of it. And because I love you, well… I’m just writing to tell you about it. I can’t take any credit. I can just …
